Elites Party Down While Lebanon Burns

Evidencing my prior post on the greedy elites, Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada points to their bipartisan partying with media mogul Rupert Murdoch--while Lebanon burns:

U2's Bono will deliver a keynote address entitled The Power of One, former US vice-president Al Gore will talk about climate change, and the Israeli vice-premier, Shimon Peres, will appear on a panel named Islam and the West.

Twenty students and users of MySpace, the internet community and latest jewel in the crown of News Corp, will discuss their attitudes and lifestyles in a live focus group called Meet the MySpace Generation.

Roger Ailes, the Fox News executive, will introduce four US military officers, who will share their experiences of serving in Iraq.

Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican and presidential hopeful, will give an address on American politics and senator Hillary Clinton will conduct a "town hall-style" discussion as the gathering wraps up Thursday.

AG Lafley, the chief executive of Procter & Gamble, one of the world's biggest advertisers, will talk about building brands.

Former US president Bill Clinton is set to close the conference on Thursday.
